Exhilaration

Sadly, I've been unable to do a lot of acting these past couple months. If you know me at all, you can expect me to be climbing the walls soon if something doesn't happen. I act for the same reason I write and breathe: I'd die if I didn't.

What has really helped me stave off the wall-climbing is that I have been able to see some fantastic shows, especially these past few days. Kane, as always, was rowdy and loud and perfect (even got a picture with Steve *squees*). I thought I'd sit through the show, but no, not physically possible at all. I had to get up and dance and sing along and throw up my hands. This always happens.

What did surprise me, honestly, is that last night at the Adam Lambert concert (my friend Chelsea had an extra ticket), I felt much the same. Two opening acts and then a very long pause waiting for Adam, I almost begged off. But I swore to myself that, even if my feet never forgave me, I'd stay through a few songs. Cripes, we were super close to the stage and it felt necessary to convey a sense of thanks to Chelsea. Turns out, did not need to leave because once the show started, I was In The Zone. I didn't listen to a single one of his songs, but I started singing along once I caught the choruses and dancing and throwing my hands up.

That's the thing: a great show, whether you're lucky enough to be in it or just watching it, brings out an exhilaration in me that I get nowhere else. It's the world's best kind of drug and all-natural too.

What amused me what my People's reactions to the show, which I'd like to share with you now:Jared-thought he had 'Jensen' lips and now wants glam!JensenJensen-just got jealous of how closely Jared was studying AdamDan-believes life will not be complete until he tricks/dares/seduces Casey into eyeliner (he and Jared have become a scheming sort of friendship. I sense a new Spot/Owen friendship here...Collins help us all)Curt-"Why isn't he singing one of my songs?"Arthur-"I'm sure he meant to, luv."Mimi-left Gloria with Joanne and reverted to her former, crazy self and loved it!Priestly-"I swear I was made more deaf by the teenagers than the music." "Elvis should either be proud of this guy or punch him in the face."Dean F-gave a valiant effort, but had to beg off (not used to concerts)Brian and Justin-buggered off at the start of "Strut", at least Jack and Ianto (H-J) made it halfway through the song before living for more horizonal territoryCrowley and Aziraphale- were both appalled by Adam, for reasons they didn't giveAmneris-is in love with Adma's wardrobeRoger-stole all the guitar picks I caughtMark-blinded by glitter, left earlyAngel-took notes and made notesAnthony-drooled over AdamAdam-glared at Adam, muttering, "I'm the only rock god named Adam...grr..."Gwen-secretly watched; don't tell RhysSally-shrugged and said none of the guitar players were better than GentryGentry-in awe of the substitute guitaristWash-just wondered how Adam Lambert ever existed in our worldSam and Dean W-are still mad at me for the chucepacubra (however you spell it) thing...
